soo many people are sick it's ridiculous
the hospital has stopped writing notes
for students who have exams/tests
they are just exempt because it's so hectic
my housemate has a few people in her program
with confirmed H1N1 cases
luckily [for me] she's at a different campus
there hasn't been anything big here yet
so monday morning
we all arrive at our early 745 time
suit up and wait for the door to be opened
when it is opened we find we have no class
chef is super sick and won't be in for either days
tuesday we had chef cynthia for our lab
she's a nice and crazy person but it felt very disorganized
i don't know whether it was because i was sick
but i just had no idea what to do next!
that was a pasta and starches lab
so we made pasta from scratch
it was a pretty cool thing to do
rolling the pasta through
and watching it come out as fettuccine!
people say that cynthia marks hard
but we got an 85 and that seems pretty high
so we were very happy with it
thursday was our normal baking lab
last lab, which was before midterm, we made pastry dough
this week we whipped it out and made some sweet things
there were open faced fresh fruit tarts
turnovers, pinwheels, volevants, cheese sticks ect.
chef said our pastry turned out very well
it puffed up and showed all it's layers
he gave us a good mark of 78%
i brought a box of pastry home
and a bag of cheese sticks
i got a couple pastries and one cheese stick
and the rest was eaten by friends!
pastry is such a cool thing to make
how you have to fold it and let it sit so many times
creating a total of 144 layers!
when it's ready to be used
you cut it into quarters and can freeze them
for multiple time use
once the pastry is made
there's so many super easy desserts to make from it
